Pencils, charcoal, and pastels sing on this textured surface, while markers and even light washes of watercolor find their happy place. Explore your artistic visions in sketchbooks, sketch kits, and storyboards.
Watercolor (300 gsm): Dive into the depths of color. This luxurious cotton-blend paper, the jewel of the Moleskine collection, cradles your watercolor dreams. Layer upon layer of vibrant washes dance to life, protected by the cold-pressed texture. Embrace every stroke, knowing pens, pencils, and even markers join the creative party on this heavyweight champion. Discover your inner watercolorist in Watercolour Books.
